About the Take Part Approach

Take Part is a distinctive learning approach that helps people develop the skills, confidence and knowledge to become more active in their communities and influence public policies and services.

Take Part learning is:

• learner-centred
• experiential
• active and reflective
• community-based

Take Part learning is underpinned by the values of participation, co-operation, equality and diversity and social justice. The approach is highly flexible and responsive to individual and group backgrounds, needs and wants.
